I came to the conclusion a while back that to get some real depth to my images, I'd need at least two evening's worth of exposures (about 6 hours or so) but the complete lack of time under the stars have me wondering if it's worth imaging at all and just sticking to observing.
As much as I love being able to 'see' much more than I could ever do with my eyes is great but the hassle and planning just to take one picture is making me wonder if it's all worth it. Certainly I haven't been able to do nowhere as much LRGB imaging as I'd like to.
After recently slimming down the astro kit, I diverted some of the money I made into re-igniting my love of fishkeeping and have bought a tank which is now in the process of being stocked, planted and matured. And it's been great not sitting around getting frustrated at the lack of time under the stars.
I guess variety is the spice of life and some people on here would do well to think of that while the mood gets distinctly edgy on here while this sceptred isle is under a blanket of cloud for the upteenth night.
Of course, I say all this and we'll get a couple of clear nights and I'll be in love all over again... :).
